en.Wedoany.com Reported - A traffic detour for the Ballan Road Intersection Upgrade in Wyndham Vale, Australia, commenced on June 18, marking the next phase of the project as construction shifts focus to the southern half of this busiest intersection in the area.

From June 18 to 22, construction crews will implement traffic changes and temporary road closures to guide vehicles into newly built lanes and relocate barriers in preparation for subsequent works. The project aims to improve traffic flow, alleviate congestion, and enhance safety for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists at the intersection of Ballan Road, McGrath Road, and Greens Road.

Starting June 22, the northern section of McGrath Road will reopen, but only for left-in, left-out access; the southern sections of Greens Road and McGrath Road at the Ballan Road intersection will remain closed until early 2027, pending project completion. This traffic detour is a key milestone for the project, enabling the start of work on the southern portion of the intersection while maintaining traffic flow on Ballan Road for most of the construction period.

To facilitate the detour, Ballan Road (from Bolton Road to the Ballan Road, McGrath Road, and Greens Road roundabout) will be closed from 8:00 PM on June 18 to 5:00 AM on June 19 for preparatory work. Subsequently, the same section will be closed from 8:00 PM on June 19 to 8:00 PM on June 21, as crews remove existing asphalt and lay new pavement.

Vehicles heading towards Werribee can detour via Bolton Road and Greaves Street North; those heading towards Manor Lakes can detour via Greens Road, Armstrong Road, and Manor Lakes Boulevard. From 8:00 PM on June 21 to 5:00 AM on June 22, the intersection of Ballan Road, McGrath Road, and Greens Road will be fully closed as crews relocate barriers and complete line marking.

From June 22 until early 2027, Ballan Road will maintain one lane in each direction, the temporary roundabout will be removed, and the northern section of McGrath Road will reopen with left-in, left-out access only. During construction, access to nearby residences, businesses, and essential services—including the Wyndham Vale Medical Centre, local pharmacy, 7-Eleven, and Ultra Tune—will remain open.

Temporary pedestrian and bicycle detour routes, crossing facilities, and updated signage will be in place to help people navigate the area safely. Public transport services will also be affected, with bus routes 190 and 191 detouring and some stops temporarily closed. Motorists and public transport passengers are advised to check road conditions before traveling.
